Chris T-T

How’s this for a listening tip: a songwriter who’s truly intelligent, incredibly well-informed, a dab-hand at indie rock and acoustic folk-punk, melodically gifted, politically engaged and a huge supporter of animal rights to boot? Think it all sounds too good to be true? Well, think again – because in London-based singer-songwriter Chris T-T, all these things and more are wrapped up in one fantastic package.

Obviously, when we heard about Chris – and when we heard his hilariously brilliant anti-hunt masterpiece, “The Huntsman Comes A-Marchin’”, on his superb latest album, 9 Red Songs – we at peta2 couldn’t help ourselves: We just had to meet him in person – and we weren’t disappointed. Chris talked to us about his youthful days as a hunt saboteur, the moral blindness of the pro-vivisection lobby and the horror he feels when he considers the abuses people inflict on animals slaughtered for food.
